The sacrifices were part of the Law of Moses given to ancient Israel as part of the deal for them living in the Promised Land. When they broke that they were evicted from the land. Just like if you don’t pay your rent you are evicted. Not doing the sacrifices did not mean their sins were not forgiven. It meant there was atonement lacking for staying in the land. Their sins were taken care of by Jesus’ (future) sacrifice, the “lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Rev 13:8). Whether anyone, Israel or otherwise knew about this sacrifice, it was the way their sins were atoned as Abraham’s righteous life exampled (Gen 15:6)

Most of the sacrifices point to Yeshua. The passover and the red heifer, but in different ways.

I have read most of the articles. I thank God for the wisdom that you are sharing.

Was not animal sacrifices for atoning the sins?

Could you please share more information on the importance of Yahshua’s sacrifice?
Also, I have read in few websites that Yahshua’s sacrifice is likened to the red heifer sacrifice. Is this true? Please share more information on this.

Thank you.

Now, according to Christianity his purpose was to end the animal sacrifices and Torah. However that’s not in the Bible and further Bible prophecy says these things will be kept again in the Millennium as reminders of sin.

It’s undeniable sacrifices are coming back in the Millennium, and God is going to be pleased with King/Priest Jesus overseeing them and the people under him doing them!

People in the flesh will still be imperfect and tempted and sinning. The reminder of sins will be helpful to them just as it was for ancient Israel who first had this as part of their culture.

The verses you mention do address those sacrifice’s, but they say nothing specifically about them returning. In my humble opinion, He would have been extremely clear about that if it were the case.

It is our walking upright in Yeshua’s name that pleases the Almighty and through this faith and grace we are absolved of sins. There is no reason for us to remember our sins because it is His blood that washes away our sins.

John 3:16 and Matthew 3:17 “And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” The Almighty’s pleasure comes not from continuing the sacrifice of innocents, which is why He sent His son, it is through our covenant with Yeshua.

Thank you for your commitment.

Sat, 01 Mar 2014 20:33:31 +0000http://timmchyde.com/?p=301#comment-15990I have a question about marriage and childbirth. I know Jesus says plainly that there will be no marriage after death. Is that just heaven? It sounds like some will be multiplying during the millennium? Why where we then created male and female? I always imagined (I know, a dangerous approach to Biblical studies) that heaven would be like Eden. In Eden, God told Eve her conception would be increased. God commanded Adam and Eve, and all other life, to multiply. Marriage was instituted in Eden? Why would it be so different after death?

This is just something that has always bugged me. I know it is rather off topic too.

Thanks.

Isaiah 11:9’s “no hurt or destroy” refers to man’s actions against each other and the world thanks to God’s word and knowledge. However God’s word itself plainly talks about animal sacrifices including Passover resuming in the Millennium at the temple. If one of the purposes of animals is food and offering to God, then it’s not hurtful or destructive or against its purpose to sacrifice them.

Revelation 22:2 speaking about the twelve fruits of the tree of life healing the nations is long after the Millennium. It’s when everyone is spiritual bodied, no more flesh. A clue there is it also says there will no longer be any night because God will shine as light to us.

I challenge YOU to rethink this one. Are you an animal lover?

Sat, 01 Mar 2014 07:55:25 +0000http://timmchyde.com/?p=301#comment-15975The problem with the notion that animal sacrifices will be brought back in the millennium arises when we look at Isaiah 11:9, which reads:

They shall not hurt, nor shall they kill in all my holy mountain, for the earth is filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as the covering waters of the sea.

Why on earth would God set up a new system wherein carnivores turn into herbivores so that man and beast may all live in harmony, but where men are required to keep slaughtering animals? That defies logic.

Furthermore, we clearly see in Revelation that food will come from trees.

I challenge you to rethink this one.

Sun, 02 Dec 2012 20:28:40 +0000http://timmchyde.com/?p=301#comment-12839Peter, one thing you missed is that Christians don’t just judge non-believers as evil, but their own fellow believers. They judge all using the Bible.

So why? I’ve observed over the years that we all have this built-in tendency to judge using ourselves as the standard of right/correct. “I would never do that! How can they do that?! How can they not know…” are common examples of thought. We think everyone is like us, can do what we do, knows what we know and has our standards of thought and behavior. Until we get much older (and for some never) do we realize how different others can be on things we thought we had “right.” We find it hard to stop making them wrong for being, thinking and doing different(ly).

So when you give a Christian a Bible with all kinds of new standards that they think they understand, watch out world. They become the most belligerent judgmental well-intentioned fools you can find. Even when Christ said ‘judge not’ they simply have not grown up enough or learned how not to. I think secular people are much less judgmental than Xians for this reason (even though they inherently judge, too.)
